this a.m. i rec'd the following from a brit friend [now a naturalized US citizen] living in the bay area who has another take on the situation:

"It's been a while since I dropped you a line, so I thought I'd do it now because I'm leaving for London tomorrow, where gas prices have been over $6 a gallon for at least 10 years.  Although I drive an old Mercedes that gets probably about 9 mpg, I don't think I can complain about paying less than $3 a gallon now.  I'll probably start feeling upset when everyone everywhere has to pay $6, though.  The bigger problem, as I see it, lies in the unconscionable distribution of income in this country.  Just this morning, I heard it announced that America's CEOs averaged $12 million a year, while its workers averaged $27,000.  If that issue were addressed, paying for gas wouldn't be any problem -- that is, unless gas supplies run out on us! "
